Subject: Tidbit - "DLL Hell" Article

Keyword: Advocacy, Windows Daymares

This tidbit is from:

Gardner, Jon L.

InfoWorld runs a weekly "Window Manager" column by Brian Livingston, who 
is a savvy Windows guru. You should his column, if for nothing else but a 
good laugh or to help yourself work up some pity for your favorite 
Windows user. This week, the entire article deals with one Windows DLL 
(sort of a Windows equivalent to an extension), CTL3D32.DLL, and the 
all-too-common problems that occur when different programs--including 
Microsoft's--install different versions of the DLL. After reading this 
article, remind yourself that there are literally hundreds of different 
DLLs on a typical Windows system, and wonder anew at how the stuff ever 
boots up in the first place.

Just one more place to say, "Those problems never happen on a Mac."
